I already have thousands in cues. I dont need a cheap cue to go play with this is about me working on a cue....

I already have Tom from tripple cross cues doing that for me.:cool:

The google link didnt answer my question, my question is if the wood is warped and straitened why will it re warp. Especially if it has already dried for years and years. Im not too worried about taking out the dents that should be fairly straight forward. Steam the wood in small spots to...

Again I am not building a sugar tree or Joss West or TAD just a house cue to keep at my local bar box watering hole as my first foray into playing with cues. How about you explain why it will warp again that seems very useful.

Gotcha,the wobble is minimal. It rolls strait but I can see in the tapper its barely there.

You guys are blowing this out of proportion I feel. I have about 30 duffrins and I want this to be a fun project. Im not looking to build a cue of a life time just my first one. Lets start with east questions. Can anyone explain how to remove the slight wobble both with a lathe and without...

I was a bit thrown off by all the less than positive advice from the start of the thread. I do have access to a rather large lathe at the metal fab shop where I work. I don't know if we will be able to chuck it in the way I would like to without damage so it may just be a hand job for now. I...

May use a lathe and I am not interested in buying a new cue but working on this one. I already have a set of playing cues with old growth shafts etc. This is a fun project for me. Okay what kind of clear coat do you guys prefer to finish the cue with. I dont see most of this as very tough to...

Bueller.....

As the title states I want to refinish one of my old dufferin cues so I can leave it at my local watering hole. My goal here is to: Take out the dents Add a slghtly longer tapper and bring down the tip diameter possibly replace the ferrule Add a tip Refinish the clear coat Here is my plan...

I think its important to note that the position play changes with the game. 9 ball and 10 ball are about the same and 8 ball can be very different. So what game are you talking about....

Good deal, I think I might have a tip tool for him if he would be interested. Sam is a hell of a teacher. I think we played once for a bobby pin a piece of chalk and some pocket change. Good gal with great technique. Pay it forward.

Pre shot routine and reading the table are two totally different subjects. For a pre-shot routine I chalk get down in line on the cue ball where I plan to hit it. I stroke three times at that spot then pick up my head and focus on the object ball and stroke through the ball. As for reading...

Just watch Shane or John Morra at any big rack your own tournament the answer is easily seen.

so are you selling two of these. Also your PM'S are full.
